Justin Herbert didn't miss a snap with a fractured finger suffered in Week 4, so the rested Chargers QB figures he'll be fine for Week 6. Except for maybe under center.
The Chargers’ most important right hand belongs to Justin Herbert, who, nevertheless, fielded several questions Thursday about his left hand. Specifically, the quarterback was quizzed about his left middle finger, which was fractured Oct. 1 in a victory over Las Vegas. The injury didn’t prevent Herbert from finishing the game against the Raiders without missing a snap and, he said, shouldn’t impact his play moving forward, starting with Monday night against Dallas.
In college at Oregon, Herbert operated almost exclusively out of the shotgun formation. Any limitations on him being under center Monday likely would be felt most in short-yardage situations. As for scrambling against Dallas — a team that features two standout edge rushers in Micah Parsons and DeMarcus Lawrence — Herbert said he doesn’t expect any problems. “I think you’re just going to be worried about not getting tackled or not taking those hits,” he said.
